The purpose of this paper is to prove strong-type inequalities with one-sided weights for commutators (with symbol b ∈ BMO) of several one-sided operators, such as the one-sided discrete square function, the one-sided fractional operators, or one-sided maximal operators given by the convolution with a smooth function. We also prove that b ∈ BMO is a necessary condition for the boundedness of commutators of these one-sided operators.

Let n ≥ 0 be an integer and let λ(n) be the median of the Gamma distribution of order n + 1 with parameter 1. In 1986, Chen and Rubin conjectured that n ↦ λ (n) − n (n = 0, 1, 2, …) is decreasing. We prove the following monotonicity theorem, which settles this conjecture.

Let α and β be real numbers. The sequence n ↦ λ (n) – αn (n = 0, 1, 2, …) is strictly decreasing if and only if α; ≥ 1. And n ↦ λ(n) − βn (n = 0, 1, 2, …) is strictly increasing if and only if β < λ(1) − log 2 = 0.98519….

It is known that one-dimensional Dirac systems with potentials q which tend to −∞ (or ∞) at infinity, such that 1/q is of bounded variation, have a purely absolutely continuous spectrum covering the whole real line. We show that, for the system on a half-line, there are no local maxima of the spectral density (points of spectral concentration) above some value of the spectral parameter if q satisfies certain additional regularity conditions. These conditions admit thrice-differentiable potentials of power or exponential growth. The eventual sign of the derivative of the spectral density depends on the boundary condition imposed at the regular end-point.

We study the balanced Allen–Cahn problem in a singular perturbation setting. We are interested in the behaviour of clusters of layers, i.e. a family of solutions uε(x) with an increasing number of layers as ε → 0. In particular, we give a characterization of cluster of layers with asymptotically positive length by means of a limit energy function and, conversely, for a given admissible pattern, i.e. for a given a limit energy function, we construct a family of solutions with the corresponding behaviour.

The existence and uniqueness of travelling-wave solutions is investigated for a system of two reaction–diffusion equations where one diffusion constant vanishes. The system arises in population dynamics and epidemiology. Travelling-wave solutions satisfy a three-dimensional system about (u, u′, ν), whose equilibria lie on the u-axis. Our main result shows that, given any wave speed c > 0, the unstable manifold at any point (a, 0, 0) on the u-axis, where a ∈ (0, γ) and γ is a positive number, provides a travelling-wave solution connecting another point (b, 0, 0) on the u-axis, where b:= b(a) ∈ (γ, ∞), and furthermore, b(·): (0, γ) → (γ, ∞) is continuous and bijective

Nets of Schrödinger C0-semigroups (Sε)ε with the polynomial growth with respect to ε are used for solving the Cauchy problem (∂t − Δ)U + VU = f(t, U), U(0, x) = U0(x) in a suitable generalized function algebra (or space), where V and U0 are singular generalized functions while f satisfies a Lipschitz-type condition. The existence of distribution solutions is proved in appropriate cases by the means of white noise calculus as well as classical energy estimates.

A real polynomial in one real variable is called hyperbolic if it has only real roots. The polynomial f is called a primitive of order ν of the polynomial g if f(ν) = g. A hyperbolic polynomial is called very hyperbolic if it has hyperbolic primitives of all orders. In the paper we prove some geometric properties of the set D of values of the parameters ai for which the polynomial xn + a1xn−1 + … + an is very hyperbolic. In particular, we prove the Whitney property (the curvilinear distance to be equivalent to the Euclidean one) of the set D ∩{a1 = 0, a2 ≥ −1}.

in this article we compare different conditions on abelian schemes with real multiplication which occur in the integral models of the hilbert–blumenthal shimura variety considered by rapoport, deligne, pappas and kottwitz. we show that the models studied by deligne/pappas and kottwitz are isomorphic over $\mathrm{spec}\mathbb{z}_{(p)}$. we also examine the associated local models and prove that they are equal.

let $\pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{gl}_n(\mathbb{a}_{\mathbb{q}})$ with non-vanishing cohomology. under a certain local non-vanishing assumption we prove the rationality of the values of the automorphic $l$-function attached to $\pi$ at critical points. conjecturally, any motivic $l$-function coincides with an $l$-function attached to an automorphic representation on $\mathrm{gl}_n$, hence, our result corresponds to a conjecture of deligne on critical values of motivic $l$-functions.

We introduce the notion of valuation of a dense near polygon. The valuations of a dense near polygon $F$ describe the possible relations between a point of a dense near polygon $\cS$ and any geodetically closed sub near polygon of $\cS$ isomorphic to $F$. Several nice properties of valuations are given and several classes of these objects are defined. Valuations are an important tool for classifying dense near polygons.

Let $R$ be a semi-prime Noetherian ring of injective dimension 1. Let $P$ be a minimal prime ideal of $R$. In this paper it is shown that $R/P$ need not have injective dimension 1. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for $R/P$ to have injective dimension 1.

We show that if $\mathcal S$ is a compact Riemann surface of genus $g=p+1$, where $p$ is prime, with a group of automorphisms $G$ such that $|G|\geq\lambda(g-1)$ for some real number $\lambda>6$, then for all sufficiently large $p$ (depending on $\lambda$), $\mathcal S$ and $G$ lie in one of six infinite sequences of examples. In particular, if $\lambda=8$ then this holds for all $p\geq 17$.

In this paper, we get a necessary and sufficient condition for the normalizers of higher dimensional Kleinian groups to be discrete. Also we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the isomorphisms between two higher dimensional Kleinian groups induced by quasiconformal mappings to be the same.

Let $n$ and $r$ be positive integers with $1\,{<}\,r\,{<}\,n$, and let $X_n\,{=}\break\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. An $r$-set $A$ and a partition $\pi$ of $X_n$ are said to be orthogonal if every class of $\pi$ meets $A$ in exactly one element. We prove that if $A_{1},A_{2},\ldots, A_{\binom n r}$ is a list of the distinct $r$-sets of $X_ n$ with $|A_{i}\cap A_{i+1}|\,{=}\,r-1$ for $i=1,2,\ldots, \binom n r$ taken modulo $\binom n r$, then there exists a list of distinct partitions $\pi_{1},\pi_{2},\ldots, \pi_{\binom n r}$ such that $\pi_{i}$ is orthogonal to both $A_{i}$ and $A_{i+1}$. This result states that any constant weight Gray code admits a labeling by distinct orthogonal partitions. Using an algorithm from the literature on Gray codes, we provide a surprisingly efficient algorithm that on input $(n,r)$ outputs an orthogonally labeled constant weight Gray code. We also prove a two-fold Gray enumeration result, presenting an orthogonally labeled constant weight Gray code in which the partition labels form a cycle in the covering graph of the lattice of all partitions of $X_n$. This leads to a conjecture related to the Middle Levels Conjecture. Finally, we provide an application of our results to calculating minimal generating sets of idempotents for finite semigroups.

We present some results on locally (soluble-by-finite) groups with various restrictions on subgroups of infinite rank.

We investigate the radial behavior of holomorphic functions in the unit ball $B$ of $\mtc^n$. In particular, we prove the existence of universal holomorphic functions $f$ in the following sense : given any measurable function $\vphi$ on $\partial B$, there is a sequence $(r_n)_{n\geq 1}$, $0<r_n<1$, that converges to 1, such that $f(r_n\xi)$ converges to $\vphi(\xi)$ for almost every $\xi\,{\in}\,\partial B$.

In this paper we consider a generalization of supersolvability called groups of polycyclic breadth $n$ for $n\ge 1$, we see that a number of well known results for supersolvable groups generalize to groups of polycyclic breadth $n$. This generalization of supersolvability is especially strong for the groups of polycyclic breadth 2.
